Today and tomorrow you will have the opportunity to finish up some of the projects that have been accumulating the past few weeks. We need to tie up some loose ends before we introduce anything new. You will also be meeting individually with Mr. Madson to go through your current grade and identify any missing assignments. Click on the link below for a checklist of current tasks to accomplish.
I have decided to allow students to also use Pages as a tool for creating their Wanted Poster. Remember, you can copy/paste text from Comic Life into Pages. Choose the tool you feel will best accomplish the task and create a unique, creative product. With that said there are a few requirements.
Your paragraph text must be black text on a white background.
Your paragraph font must be readable.
You must include the URLs of any images from the internet.
Today you will begin designing your Wanted Poster. You may copy the your text into Comic Life. Any editing changes from Mr. Pudas may be made in Comic Life. Remember, your URLs for any images must be included and take your time to be creative with your design. Positive/negative space, readability and layout are important elements to consider.
Your task today is to type up your Wanted Poster. You may use Pages, Word, NeoOffice or Google Docs. When you are finished, please print out to bring to Language Arts on Thursday. When you finish, you should continue work on your Name Poem or your Scratch is Going Green project.
Today, I am here and you are here.Your task today will be to complete the name poem document we started last week. If you finish early, you may continue to work on your Scratch is Going Green procject.
We're going to put Scratch on hold for a bit while we prepare for next week. Today's activity deals with working with fonts. Choosing the right font for the job can have a profound effect on your overall message.
Your first task is to download the fonts_activity file from the 2014 Public Folder/Digital Literacy.
Next, we will be choosing creative fonts to publish your name poems with either Pages or Comic Life.
Once you complete your Scratch To Do List, you will begin working on a project proposal for your Scratch is Going Green project. The goal of the project is to use Scratch to create an interactive story promoting environmental awareness. This proposal should be presented to Mr. Madson for approval before you commence work on the project. Below are some links to get you started.
For some of you, today is a day to access the panic button. Your Bike/Llama tour project is due TODAY. Mr. Shack and I will be checking the 2014 Drop Box at the end of the day. When you are finished, you should begin working on your How To presentation.
Welcome back from Winter Break. We will begin preparation today for your Wanted Poster project. You will be using the alpha tool to remove the background from a photo. The tutorial for the video is here.
The photos you will use for this project are found in the 2014 Public Folder.
Also, we are working on putting together a shared map of our travels over winter break. Go here to access the map.
